3 Used Bulgarian Military Surplus Wool-covered Canteens is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 3.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rick from Interesting item.Except for one broken chain the outside looks great, the 3 I got are extremely corroded on the inside. I'm hoping they'll clean up enough to drink out of.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sharky from Blast To The Past!The three canteens I received matched the SG photo perfectly: One canteen had the belt hanger clip, one cap had the retention chain, and two of the canteens did not have the hanger clip or cap chain. Two of the canteens were new and unissued, and the third one was a very used canteen in a new cover. The wool covers fit TIGHT and are not laced up. It took an hour or so to get them stretched enough to cover! The metal eyelets in the lace holes are poorly riveted in place and pop out with slight pulling, so be careful when you tighten these! All three covers were brown, coarse wool, with slight shade variations between them. It is obvious that Bulgaria was not a rich country when these were made...the aluminum bottles roughly made and the caps nearly classify as "crude" with very poor matching to the rough bottle threads. All in all, a great deal though for antiques like this. If you are looking for unique, historic, collectables, then grab this trio! If you want good, daily use, field canteens, keep shopping!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Schutzehunde from Lightweight, Well-Made, Really Cool Canteens!I bought these the last time SG had 'em, and they didn't last long in stock. If you want 'em, get 'em quick while they're still available - seriously! All of the canteens I received were in excellent used condition, the lace-on wool covers were brandy-new. They may or may not have the chains attaching the cap to the canteen, but that's no biggie - little bit of jack chain and a small 's' clip from the hardware store and it's all good. Threads on neck and cap may be rough. Easy fix - remove cap washer, apply automotive polishing compound to threads, work caps until threads smooth out; it doesn't take too much.They don't make 'em like these anymore - especially at this price!
